Alexandra Contis

Born and raised in the mystical land of Transylvania, in a time when the communism's censorship forbade most artistic expression to manifest, she understood the impact that creativity and art can have on the human mind, spirit and soul. In the rare occasions she could watch a film, she realized that storytelling, especially in its visual expression, is the place her passion basks.Moving to Australia in 2008 has offered the chance to pursue her dreams. Fusing her Bachelor of Economics degree with her first love: visual storytelling, it was not long before she started working in the film industry in the accounting department. She has learned the ropes working on the highly successful TV shows 'I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here', UK and Germany productions for a few years, before she transitioned to feature films and had the opportunity to work with, and learn from, the best in the field on international projects as well as acclaimed Australian productions.The understanding of the film industry as a business has tremendous benefits now as she is transitioning into a producer role, easily finding the balance between the creative aspect of the concept development and the practical side of 'the money talk' of every project.
